    We live in the burbs. I constantly explain where downtown, midtown, and TMC are to my adult children. No use. As usual, In one ear out the other like light travelling in a vacuum. But then again I am only dad.

    Went to a wedding at an Auberge resort in Hawaii. If this thing is half as beautiful as that, it will be a stunner.

    Went through that during the Eastex freeway expansion. In an un-airconditioned pick up truck. Learned patience. Important once children entered the picture.

    My daughters and I went to a Walmart in Honolulu e few weeks ago. Had an urban feel to it. Parking garage. Trying to get a break from Oahu prices.

    Houston first is claiming this will add 1 million square feet to the GRB. How much of that is parking is unclear. Either way it will mostly likely propel the GRB toward the top 10 in terms of total space. I did not realize Houston attracted that many conventions.

    Back in May 2013, my children and I just dodged the Moore Oklahoma tornado (EF 5). We had approx. a 15 minute warning. This was my second EF5, the first the 1966 Topeka tornado. We had 10 minute warning. Ten days after Moore, a 2.5 mile EF5 hit El Reno outside OKC, killing three experienced storm chasers ( the tornado unusually went NW to SE for a short while). I do not know what type of engineering has to be placed to protect people in a supertall skyscraper during an EF 5. I cannot imagine a building that size could be evacuated in time.

    Guilty until proven innocent? A bit hysterical no?

    I hate to knock one of the holy words of modern speech which is repeated ad nauseum, but diversity is a bad word to describe the rich tapestry of American life. The word is related to divorce, diverge, divide. in other words to separate. Much better to speak of E Publius Unum. I realize the word is hopelessly lost, much like the word decimate which means one tenth and now has replaced devastate.

    I think our jungle -like heat and humidity during our summer may have more to do with no Olympics than a heavy rail system. Great for the vegetation though.

    Glad tree roots are protected, but a bit leery on how slippery they are, especially after a rain. Suppose it is better than the sidewalk being lifted a foot up by tree roots. Moving in the right direction.

    I will never understand economics and commerce. I can see Houston to Havana flights making sense financially, but Houston to Holgun?

    Wish the B1M or a similar channel would do a show on TMC Helical Park. It is an outstanding project.

    Does anyone know how the Hardy toll road extension to downtown (if ever built) will connect to all this?

    Is this the building you all are referring to?

    I hope Baker "bakes" them and Bochy "botches" it.
